Wally,
There are no photo's of the inside of the knee. Only the one external
photo and the drawing. The other two pictures are of the inside of
the quill housings on two different machines, an Acton and a Beaver.
The graduated dial is the Z axis dial.
The two othe drawings are for the Acton Z drive layout.
Sorry for any confusion.
